A large protest led by the viral Abhijeet Dipke-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) took place at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar today, drawing hundreds of students and young supporters demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination and recruitment irregularities.

The movement, which began as a satirical online campaign, has rapidly grown into a significant youth-led platform, reportedly attracting more than 22 million Instagram followers. Protesters raised concerns about exam paper leaks, unemployment, and broader issues affecting young Indians.

Security was tightened across New Delhi, particularly around Jantar Mantar and the airport, as Dipke arrived from the United States to lead the demonstration. Delhi Police granted permission for the protest from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Jantar Mantar.

The group emphasized a peaceful protest, asking participants to carry the national flag, stay hydrated, and avoid confrontation. Environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk also expressed support for the movement and was expected to join the demonstration.
